Sentence: "Either I put up with it or I bellyache. And I already know which I will do" She knew she should be more polite to her manager; yet something about his manner and strange choice of obscure words rubbed Roxie up the wrong way. They had been thrown together for one reason only: work, and she knew that they needed to overcome their differences in order to do that properly. So when he rumbled obscurities like, " You're cruppish, fratchy and rassert - do you understand?" "Yes...yes! I understand. And you're hespilled rattletrap is full of caperlash." Roxie would reply, though trembling in fear. It wasn't long before they began to understand one another better, and soon became absolute vexsimiles thereof. In addition, they found out that they had many things in common; including, to their surprize, that they were both Verbotomists!!!

Etymology: VEX: irritate, annoy, provoke & SIMILE (as in facsimile): an exact copy.
